SECOND CHANCE

Half truth on what happened.

Ian was frightened and hesitant about telling them the truth.

what if once he told them the truth, they would feel disgusted by his presence.

After taking a deep breath,he gathered his courage and spoke.

"Okay, eonni, but promise me, you won't judge me right, nor tell the Police."Said Ian hesitantly while whipping his tears.

"No It's okay. Ian, when you are comfortable, you can share your problems.You are tired.Let's go.I will show you to your room,"said Myung, holding his hand.

Ian eyes widened.

Minji was eyeing his brother suspiciously.

Her brother had never held someone hamd before like this.

He seemed to be a fool in front of the new boy.

"No Mr park,what 's the use of keeping it inside when it can haunt me for a long time.You guys have helped me a lot.It's the only thing I can do for you is tell you."insisted Ian.

Myung and Ian were standing in silence. while Minji went to grap a towel for them.

No one uttered a word.

Myung was quite astonished how Ian was comfortable with his sister that he was willing to open up to them.

Once Minji arrived,they dried themselves and sat on the couch.

"When I was 10 years old,my parents died in a car accident.Since my parents had an escaped marriage.No one wanted to care of me.So I was sent to the orphanage.It was not long then I was adopted by the Kang's family.I thought I would get a new parents who will love me like my parents did but I was wrong,"started Ian but paused while looking at them.

Both siblings nodded their head in synchronization,which brought a sweet smile on Ian face.

"They never considered me as their child since they already have a son, which was 7 years older than me.They made me do household chores.When I refused and cried.They beated me more.This have been going for 10 more years,stealing my money which i have collected for further studies ,continuous beatings.All these were fine for me.I was used to it.But Yesterday,he, he....,"continued Ian but then started panicking and crying.

Without wasting a minute,Minji gave him a glass of water while Myung patted his back as a comfort.

"Stop now,Ian,we can continue tomorrow."Said Myung while watching Ian state.

Ian wanted to tell them.

He can't let this tragic dismantled him more.

Once calming down,he refused.

"No,my elder foster brother whom I know was barbaric before but not to that extent that he would raped me.I begged and begged, fought him, but nothing happened.He continued till he was tired.That time,I felt that I was throwing myself in a bunch of thorns.I was disgusted.The Only thought came at mind was death."Said Ian emotionlessly.
